An arterioenteric fistula is a devastating and life-threatening condition. As patients often present in extremis from hemorrhage shock, an early diagnosis and prompt life-saving interventions have to be performed. In this report, we describe a case of a 38-year-old Japanese woman who presented with hematochezia that rapidly progressed to hemorrhagic shock secondary to an iliac artery-enteric fistula that developed during bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy for recurrent cervical cancer. The patient underwent successful endovascular treatment with a covered stent-graft as a bridge to definitive open surgery.

Introduction: Aorto-enteric fistula (AEF) is a life-threatening complication arising from abnormal connections between the gastrointestinal tract and major arteries. One uncommon type, iliac artery-enteric fistula (IEF), can occur following vascular interventions such as arterial stent-graft placement.

Arterial-enteric fistulas occur from a multitude of causes, especially following surgical manipulation of vasculature. The development of an iliac artery-enteric fistula (IEF) occurs rarely in patients with failed pancreatic transplants. IEFs warrant urgent intervention due to the high mortality from hemorrhagic and septic shock.

Key Clinical Message: Iliac artery-enteric fistula is a rare cause of lower GI bleeding and can cause life-threatening consequences. A high degree of clinical suspicion is needed in patients with previous aortic surgery to allow early multidisciplinary intervention.
Abstract: This case study discusses the staged management of a 78-year-old patient presenting with life-threatening lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding secondary to an aortoiliac graft-enteric fistula (GEF) into the sigmoid colon on the background of an adenocarcinoma and diverticular disease.

Arterioenteric fistulas (AEF) are rare and devastating complications of colorectal/pelvic malignancies. These fistulas can be seen following neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy but are exceptionally rare de novo. The reported incidence of AEF is less than 1% and iliac artery-enteric fistulas make up less than .
